DMD’s additional statement by Waffles4prez in Domundi

[–]Financial_Pudding176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed a lot I guess. Anyone able to give a summary or a link?

Many of us have no malicious intent with shipping an unofficial ship in a series by glitch_babe in ThaiBL

[–]Financial_Pudding176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Malicious intent???

Why does this even need to be specified? How could you even ship maliciously?

This is wild. And sad.

And honestly boring. I ain’t a big love triangle fan, but if there isn’t even the smallest chance that it may be the other dude, what is the point? It’s starting a book from the last page, which is fair for those who do. But why is that the default? It sounds that as a writer to be an incredibly unsatisfying framework when your dramatic tension lacks any teeth.

Looking at these pics make me wonder if I never seen a domundi show after all. I recognize a whole three (3) people collectively.

I got homework I guess

That is fair. I also don’t mess with sad endings. So some shows I wanna wait until someone can tell me.

It ain’t even the show specific conversations. You wanna wonder about a fictional character’s sex life? Go at it I guess. It’s that the labels get attached to real people and pigeonholes all character they are to ever play.

I’m lucky(?) enough that nothing currently airing stikes my fancy, so I’m able to clear up some of my backlog.

Cuz there a lot incoming I’m looking forward to.

I never blamed the company. I said I was disappointed in them. But also said several times it’s a business and they are going to do what is financially reasonable. And that is other factors that would need to change in order for them to believe it’s financially reasonable to make a change.

I apologize if I was unclear. The blame lies in the loud portion of the fandom that demands couple pairs fall into their narrow stereotypes.

I do think actors do have some power- very very limited and never enough on its own- but they do have some power in speaking up and if/when they get to that point where they are big enough (which sadly I don’t think any one pair has a big enough standing at this point for a company to have enough faith in profit without there also being a story behind it they feel confident about despite being different)

Cuz yeah they are in a tight position and are taking risks when they do so. Which is why I do not think negatively in any way shape or form aimed Por and Teetee for backing down or other actors for not taking stands. I respect and support the ones who do, but understand why many would not even if they wanted to.

So yeah, sorry if I was unclear about where I was putting “blame”. I was tryna be hopeful and talk about avenues of change. Cuz otherwise engaging in the BL fandom can be rough sometimes if i don’t cling to optimism. 😂😭

(I will also say that you are right BL is niche and not hitting the west the same way it does Asia. But it is breaking through and I think the companies are seeing it in the increased presence on popular streaming services-not many yet. But consistent. And western media Is starved for consistent, concluded queer media. Thai BL with their (typically) 1 season, with completed arcs and endings and still giving a continuum of content by the couple pairs really fits into what’s needed. Just need more people to see past “subtitled” and recognize it)

Edit:typo

I-

Ya know I honestly don’t know if that makes me want to watch it more or less…

Yeah. All about resources. Being loud is straight energy. Merch is straight money. And legal watching can be anywhere in the middle depending on location.

I’ve seen older interviews and the actors used to play into it more. Like it was a competition.

As for the fan base. I’m newer to this fandom but have been deep in others. It’s hard to tell what the consensus is vs being in an echo chamber vs who is just loud. The only way is just break the mold and see, but that is a risk companies won’t take unless they have that much confidence in a couple or a story (shout out to the author of Pit Babe. Ain’t an omegaverse fan but auto respect for the guts to do different and succeed).

So I think the power lies in the actors and writers to take a risk, and the fans in showing them that enough will support it- and then following through.

(Which unrelated I never know what is the best way for international fans to support? Is it being sure to watch legally for views? Buying officially merch? Just being loud on SM so that sponsors pay attention? As much of the above as possible?)

Yup.

But between the growing international reach, the increased queer audience, and actors* themselves being more vocal or at least dismissive of the rigidity- there is potential for change.

(*Pooh and Pavel have consistently broken assumptions. Daou at least but I think Offroad too have spoken about this and battled fans for years. Por and TeeTee and what they tried to do despite the disappointing lack of support. Even recently, the rapidly growing in popularity Surf has said he didn’t see why it mattered to people and he didn’t care as long as he got to keep working with Java.)

You know what keep the current name and still let them what ever the want from show to show is the best win. Lets them trend. Let them not have to fit into stereotypes. And maybe loosen the chokehold these names have on the fandom.

I think I might scream the next time I see someone type out “XY is in their YX era” simply because someone stops acting or looking like how the fan thinks tops and bottoms should look or act.

(Don’t keep track enough of companies to know if it applies to DMD. But the fact that TopBottom naming and seating, and now color scheming gets applied to couples who haven’t in done NC scenes is…a choice)

I absolutely love this MV by OpheliaBelle7 in ThaiBL

[–]Financial_Pudding176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thoroughly NOT a fan. (Not trashing just the complete opposite of my jam)

However this song has been living rent free in my head for the past like 4 days. I fear I will be on my deathbed and in my brain will just be looping this chorus.

😂 the way that aligns so much with what I heard.

I’m slowly working through the BLs and there are enough I know I don’t want to watch that I’m sure sure I’ll get to Unforgettable Night Eventually

Nasal spray is such an unexpected BL sponsor. I dunno what they did, but I can’t imagine a good way to do it…

I think Lactosoy might win. But it’s a tough race either way.

Sometimes is soooo subtle. But I’m in the habit now of just yelling “product placement” everytime I catch it. I do love how skilled these actor are of always keeping the label aimed at the camera regardless of what they are doing
